Let x represent the smaller of the two integers.
Since integers are also members of the set of whole numbers, then the next largest consecutive integer must be (x+1)
Translating the question into a mathematical equation:
x + 2(x + 1) = 26
x + 2x + 2 = 26
add the "ex's"
3x + 2 = 26
subtract 2 from both sides of the equation
3x = 24
divide both sides of the equation by 3, to solve for x
x = 8, and x + 1 = 9
the solution is 8 and 9 [8 + (2*9)] = 26;; [8 + 18] = 26
They are 5 and 6 because 5+(2*6) = 17
Let the smaller be n, then the larger is n+1; and: n + 4(n+1) = 59 → n + 4n + 4 = 59 → 5n = 55 → n = 11 → the two consecutive integers are 11 and 12.
Suppose n is the smaller integer. Then the larger integer is n + 1, so that 5 times the larger is 5*(n + 1). Their sum is n + 5*(n + 1) = 6n + 5 Therefore 6n + 5 = 41 6n = 41 - 5 = 36 So that n = 36/6 = 6
The question refers to two factors of 132 that are consecutive integers. The answer is 11 & 12, as 11 x 12 = 132 This can be solved as follows. Let n be the smaller of the two numbers then (n + 1) is the other number. n(n + 1) = 132 n2 + n = 132 n2 + n - 132 = 0............which can be factored as (n + 12 )(n - 11) = 0 As we are only concerned with the positive integer result then this occurs when n - 11 = 0, that is when n = 11, thus (n + 1) = 12. NOTE : Integers can also be negative and this applies to the other solution when n + 12 = 0, so n = -12 and consequently (n + 1) = -11 giving the result that -12 x -11 = 132.
A quotient of integers is the result of dividing one integer by another. When dividing two integers, the result may be a whole number if the division is exact, or a decimal/fraction if there is a remainder. For example, when dividing 10 by 2, the quotient is 5, which is also an integer.
12 and 13.
The integers are 10 and 11.
They are 5 and 6 because 5+(2*6) = 17
Let the smaller be n, then the larger is n+1; and: n + 4(n+1) = 59 → n + 4n + 4 = 59 → 5n = 55 → n = 11 → the two consecutive integers are 11 and 12.
6x + 5 = 53 6x = 48 x = 8 8 + 45 = 53 8 and 9
55 and 57
12 and 13.
x+5(x+1)=53 6x+5=53 6x=48 x=8 numbers=8 and 9
There is not such set of integers.
Suppose the smaller integer is x, then the larger one is x+1. x + 3*(x+1) = 43 That is x + 3x + 3 = 43 so that 4x = 40 and that implies that x = 10 and so the other integer is 11.
Let the integers be n and n + 1.n + 3(n+ 1) = 47 4n + 3 = 47 4n = 44 n = 11 n+ 1 = 12.
this is a algebraic word problem: we know we have two consecutive integers so x + 1 = y and we know that the smaller one (x) added to three times the larger, the results is 23 so x + 3y = 23 substitute (x+1) for y: x + 3(x+1) = 23 4x + 3 = 23 4x = 20 x = 5 y = 6
